🔗 ADVERTISING & SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS

I’m inching my way closer to releasing advertising & sponsorship package options. I know there are many of you who have been waiting for this since I released the first issue. Thank you for your patience. 🙏 

If you are interested in options to showcase your business on an ongoing basis, please email me at [email protected] to get on the list to apply when those options become available (in the very near future). When you email me, I will need:

• You/your business contact info;

• Your social media links; and

• If you are the type of business that requires licensing (e.g., cottage baker), I need confirmation you are licensed. You don’t have to send me your license, I’ll take your word for it. 😉

➡️ I am looking forward to connecting our community with you & you with our community! This newsletter was born out of that necessity. ❤️

Until next week…

💌 If you enjoyed this issue, please share it with a friend who also lacks the Martha Stewart Gene! 😉 

And, as always, I’m here for any feedback, thoughts, topic suggestions, or if you just want to say hello. Reach me by replying to this email or directly at [email protected].
